1. FC Kaiserslautern: Miroslav Klose coaching candidate – return after 19 years?

Played 147 games for FCK

In the search for a new coach, a very well-known name at 1. FC Kaiserslautern joins the list of candidates. How “Sky“ reports, Miroslav Klose is also an option to succeed Dirk Schuster, who was dismissed on Thursday. Accordingly, the 45-year-old should be ready for a new challenge. As a professional, the former center forward played for FCK between 1999 and 2004, playing a total of 147 games in which he scored 52 goals and 28 assists.

Klose most recently worked as a coach at SCR Altach, where he had to leave in March after 24 games and a points average of 0.83. Before that, he was employed in various positions at FC Bayern Munich. However, the “Red Devils” are not said to be the only interested party in the World Cup record goalscorer; it is not clear from the report which clubs are still trying to get Klose.

1. FC Kaiserslautern: Wimmer also traded – Maaßen out of the race

Before Klose, according to information from “Kicker“The former Stuttgart interim coach Michael Wimmer and ex-Augsburg player Enrico Maaßen were traded. Wimmer has been working for Austria Vienna since January 2023, narrowly missed qualifying for international business in the summer and is only in eighth place with the “Veilchen” after 15 match days, which would theoretically lead to the Bundesliga relegation round (to the table). Overall, the 43-year-old, whose coaching career began with the youth team at 1. FC Nürnberg and who has been an assistant coach at VfB as well as FC Augsburg in recent years, has an average points average after 40 games in the Austrian capital from 1.53.
